Looking forward to the game! As a Wings fan for my entire life, I have lived throught the great, the supremely awful, the mediocre, and the now-consistently wonderful hockey played by my home-town team. I love the game, and my Wings! I remember watching them on channel 9 Windsor, in B&W, before any expansion teams, goalie masks, or padding. Hail Olympia, Gordie, and the Norris division! And if hockey can't cheer you up, get your juices flowing, engage you, I can't imagine what can. Go Wings!

The Blues DID play really well for over 50 minutes of the game. They had great puck control, were in the Wings' faces for most of the game (if Howard hadn't had a fantastic game, the Wings would have definitely lost), and shut down the offense in the neutral zone very effectively. The overall stats for the Blues were better, too. I have to say, it is difficult to play vs the Wings, because they have 4 lines that are all dangerous, and that can wear you down (and the top 2 lines did jack last night). Anyway, the Blues gave us a great game, (was sometimes painful to watch), and certainly gave the Wings a few spankings.
